Your score for each stage of the 2006 World Cup (whether the "Group Stage" or the "Knock-out Stage") is calculated according to the total number of points each player in your line-up(s) earns in matches actually played during that stage.
If you submit a line-up with less than eleven players or any players are selected in violation of these Rules, you will only receive points based on the performance of the properly selected players.
Each individual participating in the Competition may select up to a maximum of three team line-ups. In the event that a match does not take place as scheduled, no points will be awarded in respect of such match, save that William Hill reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to treat any rescheduled match as if it was the originally scheduled match and award points in respect of the players in such rescheduled match accordingly.
